Meet Lachie Platt! Only just turned sixteen, Lachie has been developing his sensational skills as an up-and-coming guitar sensation and songwriter. Writing his own songs since he was eleven, he now has his own band of like-minded young players, The New Generation. Their recent appearance at the Nelson Blues festival was a smash hit.

Lachlan's electrifying riffs and his passion for music are far beyond his years. Regular performances in the Christchurch music scene includes the recent Hendrix tribute night, alongside some of Canterbury's top guitarists. 

Lachie will be joining us as a solo artist this year, putting down his electric guitar and picking up his acoustic.

Lachie will also be co-hosting the youth band alongside Sam Fawkner-Egli.
